This KBA explains how to install a self signed certificate on the
Windows Mobile device. The Windows Mobile device doesn't allow you to
accept all certificates like other devices do when configuring
ActiveSync. Follow this KBA if you're using a self signed certificate
with AutoDiscover and a Windows Mobile Device.
Note: It is
required to create an alternate host name for the self signed
certificate called autodiscover.domain.com. If you haven't done this on
an existing certificate, it is required you create a new one..
